Savings Ship Ads

What is Savings Ship?

Developed by Engaging Apps, the Savings Ship rogue browser extension employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional programs together with the chosen software) to install on Internet browsers without users' permission.

Savings Ship claims to save time and money by enabling comparison shopping, coupons, and displaying special deals/discounts available within online stores.

While this functionality may seem useful and legitimate, be aware that Savings Ship is considered to be adware or a potentially unwanted application. Following successful infiltration on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, Savings Ship generates intrusive online advertisements and tracks users' Internet browsing activity.

These intrusive advertisements include banner, pop-under, sponsored link, targeted video, coupon, and interstitial ads. Clicking these advertisements is likely to cause high-risk adware or malware infections.

Furthermore, this rogue browser add-on continually monitors users' Internet browsing activity by collecting various information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, unique identifier numbers, URLs visited, pages viewed, cookies, geographic locations, and other similar details, which may be personally identifiable.

This behavior may result in serious privacy issues or identity theft, and for this reason, you are strongly advised to uninstall Savings Ship from your Internet browsers.

There are many rogue browser add-ons similar to Savings Ship such as Savings-Shield, SlamdunkSavings, and Deals-App among many others. Neither Savings Ship, nor any of these other browser extensions add any real value for the user - their purpose is to generate revenue by the display of intrusive online advertisements.

Commonly, users infect their computers with adware such as Savings Ship during download of free software via small programs called 'download managers' on freeware download websites (for example, download.com, soft32.com, softonic.com, etc.) Download managers are used to monetize these websites' free services by offering installation of promoted 'legitimate' browser add-ons together with the chosen free software.

Thus, reckless download and installation of freeware frequently results in adware or malware infections. To avoid installation of Savings Ship, or other potentially unwanted applications, be attentive when downloading free software and never accept installation of any additional programs offered.

If you are installing downloaded software, select the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Regular' - this will reveal any bundled applications listed for installation and allow you to decline them. If you have installed Savings Ship, read the following removal guide to eliminate this adware from your Internet browsers.
